1. And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2. saying unto them, Go into the village that is over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
3. And if any one say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
4. Now this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5. Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, Meek, and riding upon an ass, And upon a colt the foal of an ass.
